Why

Having been told the rationale of the "managing for individual effectiveness" module and read the introductions to the learning journal info I have decided the easiest way for me to keep a learning diary is to blog it. I may change my mind, there may be paper parts too but I think this is the way to go. Mainly because I type faster than I write, partly because I will automatically make it anonymous if its in this means partly because I can and comments later so will be able to track them (as the bumph suggests) and partly because I have discovered I'm more ready to write in this format than on a word document as I can transfer it from anywhere - so can do it at work to vent and edit later if needs be.

Today I have learned that there is a lot to do, I don't seem to have come up with much on my SWOT analysis, I wish I knew where I'd put all the other SWOT things I've done (I suspect it's all in the loft, but it may have gone in the recycling bin - is it important enough to get? May revisit at a later date), and I'm going to have to work hard at staying focused because there are an awful lot of interesting tributaries to this stream to go and explore. I seem more interested in the data handling (it has purpose to me) than the marketing (Iola instinct says convincing people to consume more is bad, Iola needs to re-educate herself as she spends half her working days connected to selling people our services, that's half of what admin in a sure start is about. Just because you wish people were sorted enough not to need our services doesn't make it worthless).
